This boot disc claims to increase your PS2 to High-Def:

1080i resolution on the PS2?
The real "win", if this disc works as advertised, is the 720p. No matter how nice your HDTV deinterlacer may be, the image is never as nice as progressive. Even if you get rid of the interlacing artifacts, the image is simply softer than the sharpness of a prorgessive.
But will it work, and will it work well? Who knows.

haha, you know when PS2 crawls to hault in some slow down. Watch it now freeze, overheat and die in front of you!!!! YEY! Any extra processes placed on the system takes away from whatever other program you are running. It the same as when your computer slows down over time due to your porn induced spyware.
Come on now... first off 1080i is a joke in a console videogame... you get no more viewing area and the visual quality is lower then 720p in moving objects (it does make still images look great though).

I thought Gran Turismo 4 could actually output up to 1080i, so why again would you want this?
Actually, don't regular HD CRTs all naturally run at 1080i, so for those, wouldn't it be better for the source to output 1080i than let the TV upscale and interlace the 720p picture?
Also, I'm suprised a lot of the PS2 games can't output 480p, lazy programmers. At least RE4 on the PS2 can do it, so the owners of that should be happy.
edit: Just thought that if you have a nice HDTV, it will most likely upscale the picture to its native resolution itself, so this kit may not actually be necesarry to a large amount of PS2 users i guess.
